Happy Friday! Here’s something that you history buffs and language aficionados will enjoy, from Open University:
The History of English, in Ten Minutes
It’s actually eleven minutes, but it’s worth it!
Have a great weekend,
Kathy

Very entertaining! (I came over via your Twitter stream, by the way.)
Love your photographic art, Val! And you are so generous with allowing others use of it, under certain conditions. Have you checked out WANAtribe yet? http://wanatribe.com/ It’s a place for writers and artists to congregate and help each other. There’s also WANACommons on Flickr, where we share images under Creative Commons, so we can use them in our blogs without fear of being sued: http://www.flickr.com/groups/wana/
So happy to meet such a talented gal!
Yes I have looked at WANA on Flickr, thanks. I’m thinking about it. Haven’t looked at wanatribe yet. Will do soon.
Glad you like my work. 🙂
You made my day, Kathy! Thanks for the giggle and the reminder that I needed to go check for more of these Royal Academy cartoons on You Tube. Did you see the one Sir Kenneth Robinson did on education? LOVE!
Eden, I’ll have to check out that one! So glad you stopped by. 🙂
This is a hoot! My husband teaches English as a second language to international students. I’m passing this on to him. He will fall off his chair!
That’s great, Kassandra! We can all use a good laugh, right?
Great find, Kathy. I particularly like the “clitoris was still a source of confusion” bit where he points at the stick-figure’s foot!
Cheers
Hmm, why am I not surprised you’d zero in on that one? 😉 Glad you liked it, Nigel!
LMAO over that video. Where do you find these things??
Google’s search engine is a cunning and powerful tool, Jenny. Kinda ninja-scary. 😉
ROFL!! Who knew?!??! Priceless Kathy!! Made my day…that and National Underwear Day!! HAHAHA
Oh, Kathy, that was absolutely too funny! I am totally stealing! And how did I miss subscribing to your blog before?
Well, I’m certainly glad you are now! Thanks, Jen!
Very fun and so creative! Thanks for sharing!
You bet, Heather! Thanks for your visit. 😀
